Things to Consider When Choosing Car Donation Services

Car donation helps people in several ways. There are people who donate their cars for different reasons; like they might not be getting proper service from a vehicle or perhaps the owner of a car may have gotten seriously ill. There are many car donation services that pick up a used car from your home, free of charge. If you are not aware of any such service in your area, it’s easy to search for this on the internet. These services are available in small towns as well as big cities.

There are application forms available on websites of car donation services and to get started, individuals are encouraged to fill these out and submit their details right from the comfort of your home. Once reputable, car donation services receive a car donation application from you, they will typically arrange everything. You do not need to worry about paperwork, registration or pick up. As soon as they receive car donation requests they promptly take care of the necessary paperwork. Services like these make it so much easier to donate and deliver a car to the charity of your choice.

Before deciding on any car donation services, you should make sure the charity is registered as a 501(c)(3) organization and that all paperwork you receive has the charity’s name and Tax ID number on it. It can cause problems down the road if you do not remember which charity or company you used, so this is information you will want to keep track of.

Make sure you receive a donation receipt and follow up with the organization to when and how much the vehicle sold for. Make sure you get a tax form 1098-C from the charity or donation company if your vehicle sells fro more than $500.
